Sunday afternoon, we headed downtown to Union Station. From there, Angela and I crossed the Millennium Bridge to head for the South Platte River. We strolled along the riverside — Angela was spotting birds along the river while I made the some photographs — some of the first images for 2020.
Close to the bridge that carries Speer Boulevard across the river, I noticed the sunlight that reflected off the river onto the underside of the bridge arch. It took a while to find an ideal location to capture an image without the sun in the frame. Later, after downloading the image, I noticed the star shape of the sun peeking around the bridge.
Later, when we headed back to Union Station, we crossed the sidewalk that was recently cleaned by water spray. I made this image of the reflections from the wet surface.
While, waiting for the light rail, the low afternoon sun created some amazing light on the towers located at the station. Reflections off the nearby buildings also contributed to creating more shadows and also filling in some of the shadows.
Here is another image, that looks really stunning converted to monochrome.
Several people were walking between the towers. I waited until one passerby was caught as a shadow on the tower
Finally, time to return home.
